jwatch.us/CCUYUF
John Brennan revealed his deep-seated animus toward President Trump & uses his media platform as an MSNBC commentator (& his Twitter account) to repeatedly attack the President (“venality” “moral turpitude” “disgraced demagogue” “kakistocracy” etc.). (5/7)

Judicial Watch President @TomFitton: “Obama CIA Director John Brennan’s unhinged attacks on President Trump help explain the Obama Administration’s spying abuses targeting Trump.” (6/7)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet

This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)

JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

Been a pretty shitty year for #FOIA. Govt agencies continue to thwart the release of records. But I was still able to pry loose a few gems.

Here's a thread to highlight all of the news stories I published at @BuzzFeedNews in 2018 based on docs I obtained via #FOIA ICYMI 1/

After news networks quoted the president talking about "shithole countries," audience members complained to the FCC — and @BuzzFeedNews obtained their complaints. #FOIA 2/

#BREAKING Trump revokes ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance. Sarah Huckabee Sanders reads statement calling him a liar and says he’s sowing division and chaos. Reads off more names of top Trump critics.
Reporter to Sarah HS: The List of people whose security clearances TRump is considering revoking besides John Brennan’s are only Democrats. Why should Americans have confidence you’re taking this seriously if not a single Republican—not even Flynn who lied to FBI—is on that list?
The White House truly was Kremlin annex today. Petty vindictive Trump abuses power to blacklist ppl who happen to know about Russia, smearing & intimidating them for exercising their First Amendment right to criticize a dangerously unfit POTUS. Send gratitude, follow @JohnBrennan

Over the past couple of days, journalists have been reminded of steps we need to take to safeguard our comms and protect our sources while working on news reports

It's also impt to note what happens after news stories are published that are based on nonpublic/classified info 1/
Every government agency on a near daily basis scrutinizes news stories for classified, secret or non public information. 2/
Personnel at the government agency fills out a media leaks questionnaire and identifies the nonpublic/classified info contained in the news report.

(I obtained a copy of one such questionnaire and example of some media leaks via FOIA: documentcloud.org/documents/3859…) 3/
